Under Bush/Cheney Americans lost their finanancial way and lost all security. Under Obama/Biden America's economy is back and working class must take their place in prosperity for the 1st time ever. Outsourcing of US jobs is sustaining workers in other countries. H1B visas are bringing in citizens from other lands to reap the opportunities of America, the land of opportunity. America's jobless rate is at 5.6. We can seriously argue the true numbers is we choose or we can come together and plan ways to get all Working class Americans back to work. And not just back to work, but working with higher wages, more opportunities for promotions, more benefits that lead to better living day by day, and the icing on the cake is a retirement in the lap of luxury. email me for links to checklist.
